Rosannaschlucht 10 8 08

We’ve no lift pass now as they ran out yesterday so we’re now on low level walks. We’re doing Rosannaschlucht, a gorge walk up to a reservoir with a nice cafe at the top for Lunch, it is so dignified walking here.

We slept in and were woken by the band at 8.30 so we dossed about a bit trying to find a hotel in Calais for next Friday night. We walked up the town and joined the Rosannaschlucht walk at the bottom of the Cable Car.

It was a good walk, mainly on well made paths along the side of the river.

P1010391 P1010392We found a couple of streams that were ok to let them swim in, the weather was very good and warm.

We found the restaurant, the food was good, we sat outside eating and relaxing for an hour before we headed back to town. The total length of the walk is about 8 miles, as usual the dogs run much further.

P1010395 Ben was hoping for some pickings at lunch, he did get some!

The walk back took a little less time, we stopped for ice cream in town before heading back to the room.

We eventually found a hotel in St Omer, about 30 miles out of Calais, this is the only one with availability that takes dogs, we should have booked this ages ago. This brought us to the obvious question, what are we going to do between leaving here and getting to Calais, I was ll for staying here but Susan persuaded me that it is time to move on. We’ve booked another hotel in Chalons en Champagne for Tuesday – Thursday.

Helen popped round to see what we were doing, we went out for a meal with her, we had had a big lunch so we didn’t need a lot.  We’re going walking with her and some of her friends tomorrow so we need an early night.
